Intercooler Kit, Need To Cut Front Bar?

[krush]

hey all,

recently got an intercooler kit. installed it today and now my front bar wont go back on.

its an r32 gts4, with a gtr front bar, and its the lower part of the intercooler that wont let the bar slide on properly.

i previously had only the intercool on, and now with the pipes in it had to be moved out a little to line up. both sides.

has anyone got one of these intercooler kits and *not* had to cut their front bar apart? specifically a gtr bar? theres plenty of room in there, it just looks like the pipes swing out a bit too far

cheers, shaun.

well i kinda just fixed a bit of my own problem.

the passenger side pipe, i shortened the rubber hose connected it from engine bay -> front wheel pipes a bit, and it dragged it up and the cooler back a bit. still had to trim a bit off the front bars inner hole thing, where it goes back a little, to make it fit with the pipe behind there. if only that pipe was angled back a few more degrees it wouldnt have needed trimming. but i suppose restrections are more important!

the drivers side, is now way off. the U pipe going from intercooler -> newly cut hole below the battery, is roughl 2.5" too long. with this side i pulled the cooler back and screwed it back to the mounting points i had before, and now its too far back.

ive been hesitating to just cut a 2.5" section of the straight out, and clamp it back up, which looking to be the only way to fit it. just worried if i screw it up (as it will not like up directly as the pipe is slight angled) its going to be a waste of money.

oh wells.. any input or experiences with these kits are welcome.. maybe im just bad at DIY things

shaun.
